With SOUTHERN PRIESTS, the adherence to such laws. NORTHERN DEMOCRATS and NORTHERN PRIESTS denounced such actions.<br /><br />You're trying to make the argument--weakly, I may add--that one group is more "racist" than another group. You really want to go there? The RCC has a HISTORY of racist practices. For starters, some members justified slavery, and the subjugation of Native Americans, with Bible passages.<br /><br />You're desperately trying to equate unions (and Democrats) with being inherently racist, while minimizing the RCC's own past actions.<br /><br />As I stated earlier, I thought only liberals brought up race. Nope, conservatives used that card for their own (sick) purposes, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-33889447417690189702011-02-24T11:00:01.742-06:002011-02-24T11:00:01.742-06:00Umnnhhh...

...I thought only liberals pulled out the race card!<br /><br /><br />Dad29, be careful. There was also racism in the RCC during the time period you speak about. <br /><br />salt.claretianpubs.org/issues/racism/unsworth.html<br /><br /><br />Should we demoralize this institution for past sins? NO!<br /><br />As I stated earlier, history is not your strong suit. Even Lincoln who "freed the slaves" favored the separation of the races.
